Sure, just right-click a small blank space of the navigation bar and choose Menu Bar. The Firefox Button will then disappear.

You can choose one from the top right Firefox menu, look at the options and choose "menu bar." But truthfully after using Firefox 4 for a day I don't see a need for it

@joeya19 - Joey understand that this isn't meant maliciously, but the world is not about *you*. That *you* don't see a need for it, doesn't mean that the OP isn't without merit for wanting it, nor that their personal tastes are any less than yours.

I'm with the O.P. on this.. I prefer having my standard File-Help menu layout. They've been with us since before windows was windows, and only in recent years has there been this big push to get rid of menuing systems as if they were the plague ... the problem will come, when people are frustrated by not having several quick drop down "menus" to get access to a few things they want, and want easier access too, than a "one for all" button. Its the single biggest reason I won't use Chrome ... that G.D. "cog" thing ... having to click it, then click a sub menu and then getting to click the option I wanted.. very aggrivating when before it would be two clicks max, or an ALT+Keystroke to open that menu, and so forth...

I don't think joeya19 was being "about me" in his post. Just giving his opinion. :)

But I agree with you 100 percent about menus. The File/Edit/View... menus are a convention, and I believe all apps should at least offer the option of staying with them. To be honest I was content with IE until IE7 came along with its hideous UI. FF was already my #2 browser and I "promoted" it to #1 so I could have a browser with a normal interface. I've grown to love it since that time. I was therefore disappointed when I saw the new FF appearing to be nothing but another Chrome clone.

I am so distressed about the new Firefox. I have four browsers (IE, Chrome, Firefox and Opera) and I do about 90% of my activities in Firefox and 10% in Chrome. I loved the old version and its interface so much! But recently it seems really bugged and takes FOREVER to load, besides other problems as unresponsiveness. It didn't used to be like this.

Hey, if I had needed something like Chrome and Opera I wouldn't rely on Firefox so much. Truth is, after installing Firefox 4 the speed did increase dramatically--Compare to the bugged way Firefox 3.6 became. The other two browsers are fast enough, and I only stick to Firefox because I love its interface...
